And it was made 3 DAYS after the Royals won the World Series. Looooong before he started contract negotiations with anyone.
Surely you are not that dense. Although I wouldn't put it past you.

I think we are now seeing a shift of paying 1B less though. The trend will continue, I suspect. What I'm saying is if Hosmer was versatile, and could play 1B and both the OF. He would be of more value. There is just no reason he shouldn't be able to do it.

I don't care what you all say I Miss Zobrist! And the what ifs are silly. Zobrist has had a far better career than Gordon and most likely finish his steady as Gordon will finish his with the bat as always up and down. Brief moments of brilliance followed by long stints of swinging and missing. Comparing those two is crazy their careers have taken completely different levels of success, Zobrist could be mentioned as HOF worthy Gordon not so much.
Oh and as far as Cueto goes he is where he needs be AL bats pound him over the long haul. |

Any reason you selected age 31?

Once the Cubs became heavily interested in Zobrist and made him a strong, competitive offer, that situation became much like Gordon and KC. It would have taken a back-breaking offer to sway him elsewhere.
Talking about it like it was a simple choice between Gordon or Zobrist is living outside reality. Re: Hosmer... Have you watched him try to shag flies? Did you see the games he played in RF a few years ago? He has no instincts out there. He was brutal. Horrible routes, couldn't read the ball off the bat. Instincts matter in baseball, especially on defense. If he got demoted and spent a season learning it all over again and he worked at it as maniacally as Alex Gordon, he might have become a good RF. It's more than just having the physical tools, though. As for Dayton's offseason, it doesn't have the magic dust sprinkle his 2014/15 one did, that's for sure. I still like Kennedy and think he's going to be a solid addition when all is said and done. He's had back-to-back bad starts ... On the road... In HR-happy parks. KC rightfully builds its staff with flyball pitchers to play to its home park. Sometimes, that bites you based on matchup. Chris Young was a cheap signing, but it hasn't worked so far. If they dialed his role back and used him as a long reliever/piggy back, might still get some production there. Soria has been about as expected. He isn't unhittable like Davis or Herrera, but he still is a pretty effective reliever who is above average. Three years on him probably is going to hurt before all is said and done, but it also makes sure they're at least 3-deep with good arms in 17, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well?
Very misleading considering Alex was out nearly half a season with the leg. Nice try though its not that Alex isn't appreciated for what he is but on a whole I choose Zobrist. Speaking of Alex are we coming up to the end of his 15 days on disabled list. Anyone hear how he is coming along? |

I saw Billy Butler play and it was even somewhat passable for that fat ass.
